Vendors launch onslaught of new phones

The 3GSM World Congress may be two weeks away, but things are heating up already.

The past week alone, we've seen Samsung, Motorola, LG, Dopod and O2 announce new handsets for their 2007 product lineup. LG started the ball rolling with its Prada Phone which sports a full touchscreen display just like the Apple iPhone. This was followed by O2 unveiling four upcoming handhelds with 3G support, its biggest launch to date.

Mid-week, Samsung made headlines with its new slimmer-than-ever Ultra Edition successors, while Motorola offered a sneak of its upcoming lineup which will include new RIZR, KRZR and Q upgrades. Finally, Dopod overturned market expectations by announcing the launch of its U1000 (HTC Athena) UMPC in Taiwan this week. More handsets are expected over the next couple of weeks. As usual, we'll be updating you with the latest news and pictures.
